Uber is set to lay off around 200–250 employees in India as part of a global restructuring aimed at simplifying its organisational structure and reducing management layers, according to an ET report. The India cuts are expected to affect teams across its People and Earners organisations. Globally, Uber is eliminating around 3,300 roles, or roughly 10% of its workforce, in its largest workforce reduction since the Covid-19 pandemic. The restructuring will involve consolidating teams and reducing management layers as Uber reallocates resources towards its mobility, delivery and autonomous vehicle businesses. The move comes as Uber looks to streamline its organisation after years of expansion. CEO Dara Khosrowshahi has said the company’s growth has led to additional management layers, fragmented ownership and teams that no longer align with its current scale. The India layoffs reportedly include some engineers working on Uber’s internal recruitment platform. Employees have received layoff communications, with more notifications expected, the report said. Commenting on the development, an Uber spokesperson said, “Globally, we are making organizational changes to remove layers so we can move faster. As part of these changes, we will be saying goodbye to some valued team members in India, whom we will support through this transition. Our commitment to India as a key market, and our ambition to innovate locally for riders and drivers, remain unchanged - in fact, we are expanding India’s strategic footprint by strengthening our regional operations here to drive our mobility business across Asia-Pacific.” However, the spokesperson did not disclose the exact number of employees in India impacted by the layoffs. Uber is also focusing on autonomous mobility and robotaxis while continuing to invest in its core ride-hailing and delivery businesses. The company has also been using AI to automate operations and lower costs. In July 2026, Uber cut around 10% of its customer service workforce as it expanded the use of AI in support operations.
